The Sneaky Magpie

I am in an absolute need of a stripy dress for spring. I can only imagine how I would jazz it up with colorful accessories: necklaces, scarves, a good satchel bag and those fabulous colorful bangles by Sonia Rykiel for H&M.

It must be made of jersey or cotton and flexible enough for cycling. And the stripes could only be blue and white.

There are 3 contenders:

Dress no 1: long Acne dress – the obvious problem with this dress is that it is long but I could cut it and maybe even make an extra skirt out of it.

Dress no 2: Alice by Temperley – wonderfully draped, the right kind of stripes, not too short not too long. I love it so much I got it booked at Net.

Dress no 3: Alexander Wang T (if jane, thanks for posting it) – wonderfully clingy and the perfect timeless cut.

And now for the accessories. Lots and lots of color, ideally scarf or bangles. Comfy flats and a satchel.

I love my Church’s shoes so I wouldn’t mind them in a different color.

I really think this is the winner.

I work in production and therefore I am constantly making lists of things to do, crossing things off the list is my geeky pleasure.

Since I was a tad tired yesterday after Saturday night’s shenanigans I only managed to cycle to the bakery to buy some bread; have tasty lunch of egg salad with chives, tomatoes with spring onions and radishes; finished Vonnegut’s short stories (moved onto Palm Sunday later on); curl up in bed like a cat and have a nap; get up and go for a walk and have an ice cream; watch some silly TV shows, eat dinner and think about things that need to be done. And here they are:

Bring clothes to dry cleaners

Air all cashmere and angora items, I had moths some time ago which left me paranoid for life

List all unwanted dresses on ebay -  have a bagful of items that is getting smaller, luckily! still way to go. Need to flog those MJ wellies too, a very silly purchase given that I love my Hunters

Go to Greenwich Market and try to find a good frame that can be painted, can be done on Sunday only

Frame the fab print that hubs got me for Christmas

Get supermarket delivery of tins, dry goods and cleaning products, am in dire need of the wonderful Ecover laundry bleach

Sort out all old family pictures that use to belong to my grandparents and put them into an album

Go to Gap to buy some socks and undies since Topshop decided they will aim at single 15 year olds

Get a birthday gift for my brother

Buy sandals, I rather fancy these Acne ones, this KG pair is not bad either, or perhaps these Pied A Terre

Plan a little anniversary trip, if the weather is good Whitstable would be perfect

Perhaps pay a visit to the Bristol City Museum to see the Banksy show, looks interesting

Definitely go and see Richard Long at Tate Britain and Futurism at Tate Modern along with any other shows they have. Hey, I am a member!

Make sure to visit Serpentine’s Jeff Koons exhibition, however I should wait till mid July when the Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa pavilion is up

Keep reading the pile of books that I managed to accumulate

Well, this is it for now, I am sure this list will grow.
